The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 27: County Brigade Leader, Reunion with Longsheng Brigade

Chapter 27: Chapter 27: County Brigade Leader, Reunion with Longsheng Brigade Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ling Chengyan looked up and saw a company commander and the militia squad leader of the commune, along with the political commissar, standing with Zhang Hanchao outside the crowd. It was Zhang Hanchao who was asking the question.

"No. First time." Ling Chengyan replied calmly.

Zhang Hanchao smiled, took off his sidearm, and handed it to Ling Chengyan: "Would you like to try the pistol?"

Ling Chengyan glanced at him, didn’t take it, but nodded.

Zhang Hanchao demonstrated, disassembling and assembling it. His movements were not fast, but most could not see them clearly.

Ling Chengyan took it, looked at it for a while, disassembled and reassembled it smoothly, and even faster.

By the second disassembly and reassembly, her movements were already smooth, showing no traces of a novice.

Zhang Hanchao applauded, took back his sidearm and assembled it, laughing: "Hahaha, Comrade Ling Chengyan is a rare marksman. Train well for the shooting this afternoon, and I hope you perform well in the county competition."

These words left the company commander and several platoon leaders secretly surprised, as it was already concluded that this female militia could enter the county competition! This evaluation was truly high.

Ling Chengyan was neither arrogant nor humble, showing little excitement, and said calmly: "I guarantee to complete the mission."

"Good, good, good, a good seedling!" Zhang Hanchao said "good" three times in succession before turning around satisfied to observe the training of the second and third companies.

Whether it was Ling Chengyan’s trick for memorizing lyrics spreading, or effort being rewarded, before lunch, the company commander came to check again, and the first and third platoons had also memorized the lyrics.

Therefore, before eating, the company commander smugly challenged the second and third companies to a singing competition and successfully crushed them again. At lunch, he happily ate an extra bun.

During the shooting training in the afternoon, the company commander especially watched Ling Chengyan. In the first live-fire round, Ling Chengyan hit all five shots, the lowest being a five-ring, with the others all above eight rings.

"Good, good, Zhang Brigade’s vision is not bad, truly a good seedling, train well." The company commander, pleased, gave Ling Chengyan ten extra rounds.

After a full afternoon of training, Ling Chengyan’s final round scores stabilized above eight rings. This rate of improvement not only amazed the company commander but also alerted the militia squad leader of the commune, who asked the company commander for confirmation and then approved an additional fifty rounds for Ling Chengyan.

Even well-trained militia with outstanding shooting skills could only match Ling Chengyan’s scores, and for her it was the first time handling shooting. In just half a day, she achieved such good results, anyone could see her potential—intensifying training for a few more days could further improve her scores.

The company commander also felt proud, as she was a militia from his company, and a female one at that. If she truly achieved good results in the county competition, his prospects for regularization at work might just materialize.

Ling Chengyan received fifty rounds, but didn’t show much excitement, her expression calm, unlike Zhang Yuyan and Li Huaihua who were much happier beside her.

The company commander felt puzzled but didn’t ask much.

Instead, Ling Chengyan took the initiative to ask: "Can I arrange the use of these bullets myself?"

The company commander was surprised—a request to self-arrange with fifty rounds? Was she planning to hunt tigers or wild boars? Those weren’t found in this vast plain, only some wild rabbits and badgers; was it worth using fifty rounds for them?

Ling Chengyan saw that the company commander misunderstood and explained: "I want to arrange my training times myself."

Although new to shooting, Ling Chengyan had practiced archery from a young age, starting with a specially made small bow her father ordered for her even before she could reach the full height of the bow, leading to years of accumulated training.

Switching to firearms was somewhat different, but with her archery foundation, she adapted to firearms much faster than ordinary people, which resulted in her current performance.

She understood firearms now; next, she needed further familiarity and integration to improve. Hence, she requested to arrange her training time, to ponder and digest previous practice insights, rather than aiming for instant shocking results.

Ling Chengyan didn’t know, as she intended to proceed patiently, some were unwilling to give her much time, insistent on confronting her.

The company commander agreed without hesitation: "It’s yours, arrange your training time as you see fit. However, since it involves live ammunition, make sure to have a few people watch during training to avoid accidents."

On the third day of training, the company was transitioned to bayonet fighting. Having practiced martial arts, Ling Chengyan was invincible in the morning training, leaving even the veterans in awe. The company commander, intrigued, reported to squad leader Wu Xiangyang.

Wu Xiangyang was unexpectedly delighted and made an immediate decision: "This female comrade brings surprises every day. Let’s have her join the second company’s live-fire training in the afternoon to further improve for the county competition."

That day, the second company conducted shooting training.

Upon arriving at the shooting range, Ling Chengyan felt several hostile gazes directed at her, and without looking, she knew they were from the people of Longsheng Brigade.

The second company commander also didn’t seem to like Ling Chengyan, but couldn’t openly make it difficult for her, so coldly placed her in the first platoon of the second company and turned away.

The people from Longsheng Brigade happened to be in the first platoon of the second company.

Standing at the end of the line, Ling Chengyan heard someone muttering: "Is this the flower of the first company’s second platoon? Why join the second company?"

"Hehe, maybe the cowards from the first company couldn’t handle it anymore?" A mocking voice whispered, but Ling Chengyan, with keen hearing, caught it clearly.

She ignored it, pretending not to notice, awaiting the platoon leader’s orders. She was assigned to the first squad of the first platoon, while people from Longsheng Village were in the ninth squad.

In the first round of training, Ling Chengyan fired five shots, scoring two hits on the nine-ring, and three on the eight-ring, totaling forty-two rings.

After the first eight squads shot, Militia Xie Pingjiang also scored forty-two rings, tying with Ling Chengyan for the first place.

When the ninth squad came up, Zhang Qingbiao, Zhang Qinghu, and others looked at Ling Chengyan challengingly before stepping forward to train.

Standing next to Ling Chengyan was the eighteen-year-old Li Qingqun, from Li’s Village, and a cousin of Li Huaihua.

Li Qingqun, also a new militia member in his first year, similarly handling shooting for the first time, only scored twenty-six rings. For Ling Chengyan’s impressive marksmanship, he admired her deeply, addressing her as ’sister’ more warmly than his own sibling.

"What’s with these guys? If they’re capable, they should score above eight rings themselves!" Reacting impulsively, Li Qingqun, feeling disgruntled, directly confronted them.

Zhang Qingbiao glanced back and, pointing at Li Qingqun, provocatively said to Ling Chengyan: "It’s just eight rings. What’s so great about it? Today, let us show you what a sharpshooter truly is!"
